‘Ofori-Atta’s body will be prosecuted and jailed even if he dies’ – Mustapha Gbande

Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has vowed that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will be held accountable for alleged corruption, even if he refuses to return to Ghana.

Speaking on JoyNews' AM Show, Gbande stressed that every effort would be made to ensure Ofori-Atta’s extradition and the recovery of any misappropriated public funds.

His remarks follow the Special Prosecutor’s official declaration of Ofori-Atta as a suspect in five corruption-related cases.

While some critics, including the NDC Majority Leader, have questioned the OSP’s approach, others support the investigation.

Gbande went further to declare that if Ofori-Atta were to pass away, legal action would still be taken against his remains to retrieve state funds.
